We made it thru the first week of school. Thankful it is Friday!

8/27/2015 - do less

Getting back to the grind this week. School has the kids tired out and a little bit more emotional than normal. The dinner eating drags out. The brotherly spats seem more frequent and explosive. The bedtime routine takes a little longer. Just trying to establish our routine again. Hoping that everyone can get back on our schedule soon. 

Therefore my official picture of the day is of the sleeping dog at the foot of my bed in a pitch dark room with the flash from my iPhone to light the way. The last minute photo of the end of our day in the "comfort" of our extremely warm room. Doing less, people.

8/19/2015 - Camp Kelsey continued

We successfully made it one night camping with a few takeaways. 

1) padding for under the bed is crucial for a decent night sleep

2) Smores for bfast are both a bad and good idea.

3) kids don't sleep in ... Even on vacation

4) a shower after a night of camping is heaven on earth

5) our dog had fun but missed us as much as we missed him.

Is it morning time yet?
